The editors of the Jpost have shared an opinion column, which includes a reference to a prescient comedy tv show that described this “near civil war” situation in advance by several years:

New report: Prime Minister Netanyahu will undergo tonight a medical procedure to install a pacemaker. He will be released tomorrow just in time to get to the parliament for the vote on the judiciary reform legislation.

 

Please pray for peace and wisdom in all levels of Israeli society.

Pray for our work in this very complicated part of the world.
